Overcurrent circuit breaker ETIMAT 6 1P B16 002111516

Overcurrent circuit breaker ETIMAT 6 – reliable protection for installations

The ETIMAT 6 overcurrent circuit breaker is a key element in protecting electrical installations in residential, public and industrial buildings. It provides effective protection against the effects of short circuits and overloads, guaranteeing the safety of people and equipment. This single-pole circuit breaker with a rated current of 16A and characteristic B is an ideal solution for circuits with resistive loads, such as lighting or sockets.

Features and application

The ETIMAT 6 circuit breaker is characterized by a solid construction and high quality workmanship, which translates into long-lasting and reliable operation. Its compact size (1 module wide) makes it easy to mount on a TH35 rail. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA (at 230V and 400V) ensures effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a failure. The circuit breaker has energy limitation class 3 and surge category III, which confirms its compliance with applicable safety standards.

• Application: Ideal for protecting lighting circuits, sockets and other resistive devices.
• Characteristic B: Provides fast tripping in case of overloads, protecting wires and devices from damage. Allows slower reaction to short current surges, therefore it tolerates starting of devices with a motor.
• Mounting: Easy mounting on a standard TH35 rail.
• Safety: Compliance with IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC 60947-2 standards guarantees a high level of safety.
• Versatility: Possibility of additional equipment, e.g. mounting auxiliary contacts or overcurrent trip units, increases the functionality of the circuit breaker.

Technical parameters in practice

This model of circuit breaker has been designed with ease of use and reliability in mind. The cross-section of the connected wire (1-25 mm²) allows connection of wires of different thicknesses, and a wide range of operating temperatures (-25°C to +55°C) allows it to be used in various environmental conditions. The degree of protection IP20 provides protection against accidental contact, but does not protect against the action of water. The rated insulation voltage Ui is 500V, and the rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp is 4kV – these parameters testify to the high quality of insulation and safety of use.

The rated current is 16A, and the tripping characteristic is B. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity is 6kA at a rated voltage of 230/400V. The circuit breaker is single-pole and occupies a width of one module. It has a degree of protection IP20.

Thanks to this, the ETIMAT 6 circuit breaker is a comprehensive solution for anyone looking for a reliable and safe protection of the electrical installation.
